There* is an old baseball axiom that ate am has to play .sno or better ball on the road if it hopes to win the championship.

They have won only seven out of IS road games for an average of .3SS.

The Kansas governor hoped that the convention was correct in its nelief that states could enact wage and hour laws and abolish sweatshops under the constitution. But he could not be satisfied with a hope. In spite of the resolutions committee rejection of the proposal. Landon informed the convention that he favored, if necessary, a constitutional amendment to achieve that objective. 2. The governor also agreed

with the platform plank calling for a sound currency at all hazards by means of a balanced budget But . there. ioo. he said, he* must explain Ids jiersonal belief that "the sec- ’ ond requisite" is a “Currency exi pressed in terms of gold and con- | vertible into gold.” That, be* added. did not mean an immediate return to the gold standard, but it did mean a return when it could be* done without penalizing the nation's economy or injuring farmers or producers of other raw maters. The convention haei rejected reference to the* gold standard ! in the platform. I 3. In the third place, Landon’s | telegram said, he would go beyond the platform's proposal on the merit system. "I believe," he said, "that there should be included I within the merit system every position in the administrative service below the* rank of assistant secretaries of major departments and agencies and that this inclusi ion should cover the entire post office department.” Thus he expressed to the convention his I specific* terms for a drastic eliini ination of politics from federal jobs—especially the patronagedealing post office department—although the resolutions committee had refused to go that far. Thus the nominee stepped in whore more experienced party leaders had feared to tread. He courted the resentment of eastern I leaders who hael "isisted that the , words’ “constitutional amendment" : should not be mentioned because jit was on the constitutional issue .that the party should ease its fight against the Roosevelt administra]tion. But the resentment, if any, j appeared mild. o England Takes Lead In Wightman Match Wimbledon, Eng.. June 12 —(UP) —Mrs John Van Ryn, Phi'adelphla, ' ( and Caroline Babcock.

MUI REFUSES ANY STATEMENT Sen. Borah Refuses Comment On Landon Platform Views Washington, Jun** 12 (UP) - Gov. AIT Landon’s gold standard platform demands brought from Sen. Wil'lam E. Borah today th** comment; "What the hell d *e.s b mean by that 7" Borab. returning to the capital from the* scene of letter convention battles over context of the* platform, did not Immed'ately announce what effect the laat minute Landon changes would have on his campaign sunport.

His jaw was firmly set, his sentenceu crisp u*< he* was greeted at the* station with news of the eleventh-hour platform ukirmteh engineered by Landon which had the effect of bringing into the party declaration of-principles two of the ideas which Borah has strenuously , opposed, namely: 1. Currency Unkeel to gold. 2. A constitutional amendment for labor. • True, both ideas were cotppered with qualifications. A gold-backed currency only when it could be accomplished without damaging agricultural prodtlc ns; and the constituti. nal amendment only if the assuni. tion that the constitution already permits protection for working women and children is erroneous. But nevertheless they are definitely opposed to the philosofdiy Borah fathered fr m the* time* he
